Big girls know: our clothes take up more space. That's why a gym bag with real capacity is key.
I've tried cute duffels that barely fit my shoes, and oversized ones that feel like you're packing for a weekend trip. My sweet spot? The Lo & Sons Catalina Deluxe ($225). It's technically a weekender, but when I'm not traveling, it's the perfect gym bag.
Bonus: the lower zip compartment is great for shoes, but I like to use it for toiletries. Everything stays organized and easy to reach.
- Capacity: Fits a full outfit change, towel, size 11 sneakers, water bottle, and more.
- Organization: Multiple compartments including one just for shoes.
- Comfort: Adjustable strap that doesn't dig in.
- Durability: Wipe-clean, sturdy, and stylish.
- Style: Looks luxe, but built to hustle.
